Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
Did I miss the text that makes a Pyrokineticist proficient with his or her fire lash?

<Flickerdart> So theoretically the master vampire can control three bonused dire weasels, who in turn each control five sub-weasels
<Flickerdart> The sub-weasels can each control two other sub-weasels
<Flickerdart> It's like a pyramid scheme, except the payoff is bleeding to death!

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I updated my first post to include my judging criteria. It may or may not look suspiciously similar to aethernox's criteria, with some small adjustments. *shifty eyes*

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I was already working on a build for that class. I guess I'll join as a contestant, than.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
That's what I was thinking, but general opinion around here seems to agree with my assessment of Dandwiki, which is why I was confused.

It's also exactly what I mean by saying "ew" and using the "yuk" emote. I continue to be confused.

Thankfully, the link to dandwiki is to OGL content, rather than to the horrible, horrible homebrew that infests its pages.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
D&D wiki is linked to because it happens to have exactly the same text for the Pyrokineticist as the Expanded Psionics Handbook. I double and triple checked everything, and that page at the very least is an exact reproduction of official 3.5 material.
The link is there just in case some contestants don't have access to the XPH, and I wouldn't recommend using anything else on that site as part of an entry.Quotebox

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I will be going in as a contestant on this one, as this is one of my favorite classes.
Before I do, I request some rules clarifications on this:The lash deals 1d8 points of fire damage to a target within 15 feet on a successful ranged touch attack
2) The entry for Flame Lash states that it may do damage to a target within 15'. Does this mean it can strike at 5' and 10' without penalty as well?
3) How would a size increase of the wielder affect the size, reach, and damage of the Flame Lash?
I've already got my build set up, should be fairly unique. I may take a hit on the Power category, but I should make it up in Originality and Elegance.SpoilerQuite possibly, the best rebuttal I have ever witnessed.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I've always found this class interesting. Is there room for another judge? I know I haven't appeared much in the threads for previous competetions, but I have kept up with the past several ones and would like to get involved.
Yes, I am "borrowing" my criteria. But they sum up my ideas, so why not?
My criteria:
Originality: Does this entry use a well known trick or abuse of the PrC in question? Does this entry present a new take on the PrC in question?
Power: Can this entry combat a Wizard 20 on equal footing? Can it combat a Bard 20? Can it combat a Fighter 20? Can it combat a Monk 20?
Elegance: My read "elegance" as meaning that the build is highly synergistic while avoiding extreme cheese. Your build should strike a balance between power, appearance, and getting the most out of the PrC. This is where I will rate your "presentation", which is the story of your entry, your source list, and all the other trappings of the entry. MY ADDITION: I have always found dipping cheesy. While I understand some builds work better with dips, an overabundance of dips will be marked down.
Use of Secret Ingredient: Do you play to the strengths of the PrC? Do you make it really feel like this build is a <PrC Name> and not Generic Fighter #5 or whatever?Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
It seems that all of the judges are looking for very similar things. That, or none of us can express ourselves properly.

Just a quick question, is BoVD counted as 3.5? I can't remember.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
Is any other 3.0 material legal? Just so I know what options are available.
